It is an erect, bamboo-like shrub with broadly lance-shaped leaves and pink, tube-shaped flowers crowded along spikes in leaf axils and on the ends of branches.

The flowers are crowded along unbranched spikes up to 60 mm (2.4 in) long in leaf axils and on the ends of branches.

[2][3][4] Leucopogon verticillatus was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.

[7] This leucopogon often grows in lateritic or gravelly soils in wet places in karri, jarrah, and marri forest between Perth and Waychinicup National Park in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of southern Western Australia.

[2][8] Leucopogon verticillatus is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
